Framingham Earl
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Framingham Earl is a small village situated south of Norwich, Norfolk. It is next to Poringland and Framingham Pigot. Within Framingham Earl is Framingham Earl High School, which is a Specialist Sports College. Sharing the same site is the newly built Sports Centre which was opened in early 2006 and now provides a range of exercise classes and sports opportunities to the people of the surrounding villages as well as giving the school an extra space to use for PE and Dance lessons.
There are two churches within Framingham Earl, the Methodist Church and the church of St Andrews. St Andrews is one of 124 existing round-tower churches in Norfolk. The writer W.G. Sebald is buried in the churchyard of St. Andrew's Church.
Framingham Earl also has a pub called the Railway Tavern and a shop called Indian Ocean which sells fair trade craft & furniture items.
